RIVERA FOR WEAVER

The Arizona Diamondbacks acquired infielder Emmanuel Rivera from the Kansas City Royals for pitcher Luke Weaver.

What does it give the Arizona Diamondbacks
Rivera can play third base in MLB but has yet to prove he can hit well enough to be an everyday player.

What does it give the Kansas City Royals
Weaver can be used as either a starter or reliever, so he has some value in MLB. KC did fairly well here.

Fantasy impact
At this point, there is no need to add either Rivera or Weaver in most league formats.
